Answer:

The correct answer is that the older adults demonstrated a decline in the memory recall but not in recognition.

Explanation:

When adults of varying ages were tested for their memory of a recently learned list of 24 words, the older adults, approximately over the age of 45 demonstrated a decline in the recall. They were unable to recall the list of 24 words which they learned recently. But they were able to recognize the words when presented in front of them to see if they can remember that the words were presented in the list or not. This showed that older adults had a decline in the recalling of memory but they were able to recognize the words. It is also generally seen that people can recognize better than recall the things.

Most people will accurately identify lying what percentage of the time?

wolverine [178]

The answer to this depends on what sources you are using, but some sources state that people identify lies only 55% of the time!

That's very little, considering that 50% is the chance level - this number would be the one used if we could never really use our intuition to guess correctly. For example if we guessed that every second person randomly lies that would give us the "chance level" of 50 %. (if exactly half of the people lied).

And in real life, we can tell 55% of the time if people are lying - this means we are slightly better than chance.

We can conclude from this that we should never trust our intuition about whether people lie or not!
